Charlie Brooker's Dave's fave at Edinburgh

So what was the wittiest comment at this year's Media Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival? And who said it? Rack your brains no more, because the good people of Dave - AKA the Top Gear channel - have had a vote. And the winner is ... Guardian columnist and writer and presenter of BBC4's Screenburn, Charlie Brooker, for this contribution to the special festival edition of Eight out of 10 Cats. "Big Brother does have a purpose - It made me genuinely hate a blind man." Brooker narrowly beat runner-up Jimmy Carr, who made this comment in the same session: "I think Jeremy Clarkson is aging very badly. He's gone from nought to 60 in 45 years." Armando Iannucci claimed the bronze medal --a metaphorical one, because there is only one award, with: "The most recent bugbear with the Beeb is its absolutely relentless obsession with perfect balance and fairness in the news, that can sometimes stultify proper investigation. 'Mr Churchill, your opponent Mr Hitler does have a point there. There are too many Jews aren't there?'" Brooker will receive a hand-crafted award from Dave later this week. We are sure he will treasure it.
